To my mother that I lost a year ago to cancer and to my grandfather ( her dad) who we lost two years ago. They were one of the greatest Tiger fans of all time. I will be in the stadium because of these two. We have 3 season tickets since the 60s because of my grand paw. We donated to TAF and got each a brick around Mike the Tiger cage in remembrance of them.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!! They will be watching the game together with the big man!

My grandpa died in '93 and he was buried with his LSU hat......I don't think I ever saw him without that hat....Think the old school standing tiger logo on a white backgroud with purple fish net mesh back....It was great I wish I could find one, but that is the only one I have ever seen like that.
My grandpa passed in '92... I was 12. Biggest LSU fan I ever met besides myself ;-). He was buried with a copy of the Tiger Rag...man did he love that paper. I think about him always during LSU games, I know he is always cheering us on

Awesome post.
Lost my Dad 10/28/08 and my Mom four months later 3/4/09. One of the most difficult things I've ever dealt with in my life.
My Dad was a Baton Rouge High grad Class of '38, Army Air Corps in WWII and a life-long Tiger Fan. He was a marshall in the student section for 20+ years from the late 60's through the early 80's. Though there was a great age difference between us (I was adopted) one of the things we shared with great passion and pride was LSU football. A couple months before he passed, the assisted living facility he and my Mom were living at brought all of the men on a bus tour of LSU athletic facilities. He was 87 at the time and hadn't worked a game in many years. He hadn't seen all of the improvements to the stadium, athletic complex, practice fields etc. He was truly like a kid at Christmas. I'll always remember having that conversation with him and hearing all of the amazement in his voice.
Here's to you both, Mom and Dad.

Dad. February 2009. Die-hard Tiger fan. Even through the Arnsparger, Archer,Hallman, and DiNardo years.
Despised Bama with all his heart. Hopefully he'll be sitting on the goalposts helping the Tigers out on Saturday.
He might have been buried as a US Marine...but he still had on his LSU P&G underneath.
Miss you a lot ole Man.

My Dad, Grandpa and Uncle have all passed on. but for over 40 years they were in Tiger Stadium cheering the Tigers and the Ole Miss game was the best when Archie was there.
My Uncle had a huge old style mega phone and he shouted : GO TO HELL OLE MISS, GO TO HELL.
My Dad and I never missed one of Pistol Pete's games.
When I went to LSU, that was their proudest moment, the first in the family to go to college.

My dad has been gone since '93 but to this day watching LSU games, either at the stadium or at home always brings back memories of him. Taught me how to "negotiate" for tickets outside the stadium. Even taught me how to get a pint of whiskey into the stadium.

This one is for you, grandpa. He was like my father, but unfortuantely passed away when I was a senior in highschool due to alzheimer's. He'll be watching over us Saturday and getting us a win.

I know the feeling - the last game my Dad and I went to was the 2007 Florida game (Hester, Hester, Hester). I saw the game was on Fox last night...gets me every time.

My dad. He used to fix a whiskey and water and we'd listen to John Ferguson on the radio. Great memories. He'll be watching.

Dad passed away two days before Thanksgiving last year; Dad and I watched LSU knock off Bama while he was in Intensive Care 3 weeks prior to his death - watched 1/9 NC game with Mom and my wife at her home - Mom diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 3 weeks later; fought bravely for 5 long months.....both parents died in our arms! Grateful for that!! Very long year, though....miss them both very much!
